How awesome is a tights* and boot combo?

January 22, 2018

We are still in the winter months and the weather is still ridiculously cold especially up north here! Instead of always wearing jeans and a jumper I like to mix it up a little bit and throw on some fashionable tights and boots; it makes a change from my jeans.

UK Tights stock lots of tights from lots of different brands; I never knew there where so many tights brands until scrolling through the UK Tights website. They also stock; pull ups, stockings and leggings so you can get everything you need in one place. UK Tights was created by Dawn and her husband, Jonathan in 2006, they saw a gap in the market for good quality products for men and women of all shapes and sizes, they added this product quality with excellent customer service and the website took off.

This grey pair has a woolly look to them but they aren’t really thick, they are still really cosy and warm to wear this season. I particularly liked this pair because of the side leg detail, the small detail that runs all the way down the side of each leg really adds an edge to these grey tights. Not only does the detail add that fashionable feel but the grey colour is on trend and quite popular this season, I’ve been wearing grey colours since autumn and I don’t see my style changing anytime soon. The tights fit well but the waistband sits quite low but this isn’t as issue as the tights don’t fall down when being worn, I’ve sometimes worn them with some denim shorts and a chunky jumper, total winter fashion!

I’ve paired these tights with my latest pair of boots from Primark, I picked these up in the sale before Christmas and aren’t they cute? The grey stars match the grey tights whilst the black adds contrast to my overall look. The boots are comfortable to wear even for a long period of time, they are wide fitting which I think adds to the comfort.

The second pair I chose are more of a fancy pair of tights with the floral detail I can get away with wearing these throughout the day but also on a night out. The floral design is beautiful and I love the style of the black against the grey toned flowers. These tights are a little more sleek to wear and again the waistband doesn’t come up high but they don’t seem to fall down when I’m wearing them. I found this pair to be just as warm as the grey pair even though the fabric is thinner so they are perfect for the rest of the winter months. I've had many compliments when wearing this pair particularly, I think the flowers really grabs peoples attention.

I’ve gone floral mad and paired these with my Ego Shoes floral boots (similar here) which are just gorgeous. The floral design matches the tights and even though it’s all flowers I don’t think it’s too much and I really like the look. These boots are more of a going out boots with having a higher heal but they are comfy enough to wear all night and keep those toes warm in this cold weather too.

I usually buy tights from a fashion store or supermarket but having a website dedicated to just tights is much better. I can choose a style for an outfit or just browse for my taste; the UK tights website is the place to look for your tights needs.

So how will you rock the boots and tights combo this winter?
